The York Ebor Festival continues on Friday 19th August 2022, as the four-day meeting heads into it’s third day.
Four more LIVE ITV races to take in, including the Group Two Lonsdale Cup, but day three is all about the Group One Nunthorpe Stakes as we get a chance to see some of the best sprinters on the planet doing battle again – did you know 18 of the last 20 Nunthorpe winners came from stall 11 or lower, plus also finished in the top 5 last time out?
As always, we’ll be on-hand throughout the whole meeting to take you through the key trends for each day’s LIVE ITV races.
